Preston,
Many of the larger general mail order tool houses, such as Rutland, MSC,
etc, and a few specialty toll manufacturers, have in the past carried misc
handwheels of many types. I have bought several cast iron wheels from MSC
for replacement tool handwheels. The castings were imported and in the
rough, meaning they required machining, but the castings themselves were
beautiful and rtelatively inexpensive. I think I paid $7.50 for a 4" wheel.

P.S. If it's the knobs only that you need why not turn them yourself from
freecutting steel?

Preston,
Don't pay $25 a pop. Do it yourself. This is a job well within a beginners skills, espesh since quite a few co-enthusiasts (incl. myself) would be glad to assist. If you'd like to try, send .gif or .jpeg files and dimensions. Even WOODEN handles can be made to put this puppy back into pleasant duty.

Preston;
If you decide to make new handwheels, my site has a short write-up
on one I made for my lathe. If you decide to go a similar route, I'd be
happy to generate a drawing for your dial graduations.
